i have a very old S&W revolver. ...OLD.

it breaks open and the hinge is on the top.

My dad says it takes a 32 Long and that seems to be hard to find.


is 32 Long the same as a 32 S&W?

the reason I ask is that i saw that Aguila still makes a 32 S&W.


thanks,

.32 S&W and .32 S&W Long are two different cartridges.  Both are still being made, but the .32 S&W Long is a lot more common of the two.

FWIW, the .32 S&W has a maximum overall length (including bullet) of .930 inches.  The .32 S&W Long has a maximum overall length of 1.280 inches.  Checking the cylinder length might help identify the proper round.
